I stumbled across a terrific movie called Apocalypto directed by Mel Gibson what with all the time left on my hands during my never ending vacation. I’ve watched it thrice already which is another way of saying that I loved the movie thoroughly. I dont think I’ve quite watched a movie before wherein the real intrigue starts in the last half hour and climaxes to a brilliant end.

Another movie that I had a blast watching was The Anchorman - The legend of Ron Burgundy. My favourite part was the gang war between the top two TV channels - the war heating up to include chain welding members of other two channels listed number 3 and 4 in the popularity rating. The funniest part was (my favourite) Ben Stiller joining the war as a member of the Spanish News and later on fleeing to the wails of the police sirens exclaiming: Policia! The gang war escalates to such a level where people get their hands chopped off and someone’s set on fire while another gets thrown through a car windshield. Magnificiento.

Since I didnt have anything else to do, I ended up watching a lot more DVDs than I anticipated. I was fascinated by Renee Zellweger as she played the lead in Miss Potter. Her accent brought back fond memories of Bridget Jones diary too. Beatrix Potter is a children’s author who loves and loses the man she would have eventually married. Her drawings of rabbits in blue jackets and brass buttons, clutching red radishes made me remember those Enid Blyton books that I used to read when I was a child. The Brer Bear, Brer Wolf, Brer Rabbit one.

I dont usually watch DVDs but after these wonderful movies, I’m hooked. And also, it feels nice to be back in the blogosphere after what seems like ages.
